Frustrated with update

Hi Firefox Team,

I know how hard you guys work and I've used you almost exclusively since the beginning in 2003 and talked a lot of folks into switching to you over the years.

I'm so frustrated about your decisions to change the options for what we users want on our home page and new tabs. Seems I can only use a blank page or your default home page. And if I want my normal home page I need to click on the home icon. In the course of a day, that's a LOT of extra clicking or the alternative, typing my search query into a tiny URL bar.

Are you planning to change this? Or is this Mozilla control by default the new norm? I'm so sad to admit to be exploring Mullvad and Brave now. Never would have even considered it, even though I'm consciously weaning off other US digital products.

Thanks for any suggestions and for all you do. (Yes my IOS is up to date)

While I tried rebooting more than once to no avail, when I started up this morning (UTC+08:00), the issue appears to have resolved itself. I am now seeing the home page I requested, without having to click on the icon.

I don't know if this was a bug-fix by Mozilla engineers. If so, I am grateful and happy not to have to try yet another browser.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

Thanks, Paul. I appreciate your prompt and substantive response, even though it doesn't immediately solve my problem. Thanks again for all you do.

Thank you for your support.

The website that I linked is monitored by Mozilla staff for feedback and product ideas, so well worth providing feedback there.
